An enlightening and fascinating exploration of human nature, explained by world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal. In this work, the author examines the long evolutionary history of empathy, demonstrating through examples in chimpanzees, bonobos, and elephants that tuning into others and caring for those in need are not traits exclusive to our species. With a clear style, full of anecdotes and fine irony, De Waal challenges the idea that humans only seek their own interest and survival. This book is an essential read to understand what makes us human and how cooperation and compassion have been fundamental to our evolution.
